No Rest! No Rest! Poem by Ian McArthur

(Another quick fire outburst - so tired now, but had a lot of negative energy to burn off today.)


Burning! Burning inside! Without!
I cannot rest, no rest
The wicked, I am!
Broken, broken, broken!

No breaks, no peace.
Tranquillity please come to me
Heed me! Please!

Rest, Rest.
There is no rest.
I writhe, I turn
Choking on my breath.
painfully

Full of hatred
stoking hatred
Burning hatred
Internal hatred

Flames, flames flames!
shaking, shaking I am

There is no rest
no rest
If I already died
No rest!

Finish me. Finish me!
In torments or creation, I don't care!
Finish me, half completed toy!
Finish me, half broken boy!

There is no rest no rest
no rest no rest
long past

Rain rain come today, wash me clean this filthy day!
I hate to go, I hate to stay
Purge me clean this filthy day!

Bring that rest
that dreamless sleep
that tearless weep
Drown my mind, Drown my soul
Pour the frozen sea down this gaping hole!
Numb the senses, Numb the skin
Blind the lights, Make dumb the din!

Give me rest! and Harmony
Exhausting
Exhausting
I cannot see!

Burn out all ready, hellish flames!
Blow my ash upon the wind
Ease the weight of so many shames!
Internally, oh how I've sinned!

Rest, rest, please come to me.
Please let me be at peace
Sanctuary.
Please, please find me!
